Canadian seeks id of an English tree
This may seem silly, but I want to identify a tree that appears in the
background in three photos I took in 1963 in England (I am now in Canada). The tree is quite distinctive in shape. If no-one on this newsgroup can help, is there a "trees-only" newsgroup that I might try? Here's the story: I run a website devoted to the history of British stock-car racing 1955-1975. Today I watched a video clip of racing at a track at Brafield in Northamptonshire, and lo and behold, even from the in-car camera view, I instantly recognized a tree that grew at the edge of the stadium's property 45 years ago! I could e-mail jpg's to any serious tree person. If anyone wants to navigate through my rather clumsy and crowded website, here are the directions: www.oldstox.com Sub-section "Senior F1 Racing in the 1960's" (1) Search for "320", and the hyperlink jpg shows, behind two cars, the tree. Sub-section "58 Junier F2's" (2) Scroll down to the second embedded photo, of two cars, and the tree is there too. (3) Same sub-section, search for "two friends", and the hyperlinked jpg shows the tree again. I trust that the folks at uk.rec.gardening have the same attention to fine details that cricketers and stock-car fans do (e.g. "That axle stub could NEVER have been used in 1957 in Scotland ---") Thanks for any help anyone can give. |
